Hi

Guys just bought a rec es8 2002 one month

Back facing a issue as my ABS light is permanently on from yesterday.

Pls advice what to do.

One simple possibility is due to dirty or faulty ABS sensors. If the scanner shows a ABS sensor get all of them cleaned first and see if the fault disappear. You can get them cleaned anyway for they must have become dirty now unless they have been cleaned before. If the sensor is faulty then you would have to change the faulty one.

BTW I just noticed that OP is using a email address as his log in. If it is a real email then it is not such a good idea to use it in a public forum.

Guys. Tx for your inputs Guys but my batery light started sparking luckily got near a garage they said it is A faulty alternator. What do you guys recomen to replace the alternator or make the same as I cannot move the vehicle currently.

Depends on whats bust on the alternator. It could be the voltage regulator which is repairable, bushes or the coil. See if it can be repaired, if not you can replace with a used item.

may be i am wrong. had similar issues on alternator on a ek. reapired two times. not solved. fixed a recon device. all went. cost only 8k. parts are freely available. better to identify the exact issue.

With repairs it often depends on the quality of the repair. You can normally even buy the regulator as a separate part sometimes brand new. But most newer alternators are not servicable which is a shame.......

Hi guys need ur advise on where cud I fined es8 recon spares as I need to replace a Abs censor as the alternator issue is two different issues.

Thanks any suggestions I called tech motor they didnt have sensors

Try the agent and then try after market options.

As somebody has suggested the first thing to try is to remove the sensor from the hub and clean, and see if it makes a difference.

haliq2009, How did you come to conclude that the ABS light is on due to a bad sensor? Did you have it checked? One or more faulty sensors is just one possible cause as Rumesh88 has correctly pointed out above. It can also be due to a faulty connection or a blown fuse in the ABS circuit.

Hi guys alternator issue came up again,earlier the other componant were replaced except the rotor was repaired because due to unavailability,do you guys think if the rotor is replaced it will last as my mechanic has found one pls advice as I am tired of the brake downs.

What exactly is wrong with the rotor/armature? Does it require re-winding or are the brush contact surfaces worn out?

I don't think a good mechanic would have taken the risk and re-assembled the alternator, knowing that the armature is faulty. It's funny how a part that was "unavailable" is suddenly available for replacement now. So if you don't want to experience any more breakdowns, I suggest you either tell your mechanic to cut the crap and come straight or find a guy who will fix it properly.

Also, if the rotor needs to be replaced, I think you are better off with a new or recon alternator altogether.

I too smell a fish here because if the mechanic suspected a fault in the rotor he shouldn't have repaired the rest of the alternator like Davy said. BTW when you said your "battery light sparking" did you notice any problem like headlights getting dimmer or difficulty to start etc., basically the obvious signs of a drained battery?. Did they check the battery voltage before and after attending to the alternator? I get the feeling that your alternator output could be OK while the actual issue is something else.

Edit: Just get your the alternator wiring checked for previous modifications to accommodate a non-standard alternator. (Usually your alternator should have a four wire connector at the back. Some of our electricians modify wiring to this connector to retrofit alternators with three-wire connectors).

Well I got the vehicle now with the replaced rotor well hope it will hold on,as the mechanic said nothing to worry as now the major potion of the alternator has been replaced, hope it will be OK. Well I believe that the mechanic is concerned on the prices and in the process tries to repair stuff as the alternator costs about 20,000. As after replacing the rotor costed only 4000 To replace rotor.

I think guys over here don't understand the use of the "Mark Solved" button. It is to mark the most helpful answer in solving your problem. Its a bit silly for the OP to mark one of his own posts as the most helpful answer :) It is a method of thanking other members who help you rather than promoting yourself and hilighting the solution to the problem.
